Ethics of Pro-Bono and Sliding Scale Coaching

Ethics of Pro-Bono and Sliding Scale Coaching is a course designed for coaches and coaches-in-training. This is a 5-clock hour course, self-paced and online. I offer this course exclusively through The Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT).

If you are interested in creating a solid base for ongoing referrals to your online practice, consider starting in your local community first. This course is designed to introduce you to a new way of giving back to your community by offering online therapy or coaching services utilizing a “Gatekeeper Referral System.” This course is also designed to inform you about the ethical and legal implications of fee setting including bartering, sliding scale and pro bono services. In the process of implementing your own Gatekeeper Referral System you will advance your name in the community and expand your practice.
